Trade CL9 Accord Euro for E90 320i?

[Kevl]

really interesting sceanrio you are in..........
I actually traded my 2006 e90 320i for an Accord Euro
two reasons for it, i was getting back all my money i bought the beamer for and i had 3 issues that if they came back would be expensive to fix if they did happen, what made me sad was the car only had done 36k kms, and already played up a little, other than that i found not enough power some times, but loved the car totally, it had such a nice finish and feel of things and quality of parts was very high, just not reliable i guess? so went with Euro with a heavy heart that i may miss the bmw alot (which i do) but the power on the Euro is amazing compared to the 320i, its more refined and more trouble free although in saying that im facing a possible gear bearing sound at 70K kms already on the euro.....i think if i were you speak to Oz crowd on e90post.com and than make your decision, the car sounds like a really nice package, best would be to have warranty with it than u dont care.........
all the best keen to hear what you do
if i get a chance i would look at a 320d or 325i or 330i e90 shapes still next year when my lease ends.......but brain says IS250........
beamer specialist tells me that diesels are more reliable for some reason with bmw

Yea the BMW does have a higher quality feel to the car which is funny cause it is less reliable.

If you don't mind me asking what went wrong on your BMW? My Aunty had issues as well in the beginning.

Thanks for your opinion, just waiting on my aunty now to see if she upgrades or not. Will let you know if we get the BMW

Oh, I would have expected it to be the other way round (heard latest turbodiesels are very complex). Volkswagen have had quite a lot of problems with their diesels. I'm sure the beamer specialist knows more than me though lol.

How about the IS350

IS250/350: what a camry/aurion should handle like

diesel is more reliable cause it's more developed and produced in larger volumes in europe, also less parts.
also the 320d can be tuned to make power out of the demon hole ... from what i've heard the diesel has wayyy more parts/options avail than the 320i (look up alpina.. "drool").

IS250/350: what a camry/aurion should handle like

It's all rear-wheel drive and everything though! I would expect a ES350 to handle like the Aurion (luckily not sold in this market), but not the IS250/350.
